How worried are you about food hygiene/poisoning?

[Sue]

Don't worry about it really and I'd definitely have eaten the omelette.

In the 70s things were really quite lax yet we survived.

Well, those of us who survived did. The ones who didn't aren't here to say "actually, no, it wasn't fine at all". So skewed sample.

My GP has signed me off shop-bought hummus.

Apparently it's notorious for producing exactly the symptoms I went to see him with.

In the 70s things were really quite lax yet we survived. We used to find dog hairs through boiled spuds - never worked out how that happened.

I'm much more careful now - had food poisoning a few times and while not hospital level still fucking awful. Rather be careful than be shitting through the eye of a needle.

I once founded a hair baked into a bread roll

True. Would be interesting to see stats on food poisoning illness and death compared over the decades.

You only need to worry if the hair is pube-length.

Otherwise, it's a bread roll with free dental floss.

*dry heaves* it was in the college canteen btw. Actually not a bread roll, it was in one of those 'roll over hot dog' baguettes.

i found half an earwig in a Costa Coffee wrap once - not had a wrap since, though I don't think that's connected.
I definitely ate the other half.

Had it been heated to 83 degrees? If so, there's no problem. Unless it was subsequently stored and served between 5 and 60 degrees.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I see nothing wrong with yesterdays omelette. UnderAnOpenSky you're a wasteful fucker

I can't imagine making an omelette and not eating the whole thing straight away. But then I do make a fucking mean omelette.

it was from the chiller and about to be thrown out for being out of date, which is why I ate it - Costa had a concession in the shop I worked and I used to take advantage of there discarded stock that they left in the staffroom at the end of the day.

Tomato, chilli and onion is the best omelette. It tastes even better the next day.

Just think about tortilla's. They're at their best when they've been left to hang around and cold

I wouldn't eat out of date insects. I don't mind exceeding sell bys, but I'm wary of use bys.

*cries* that is actually terrifying.

Hairy pork crackling.

my big toe hair looks like the hair you get on pork

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Do pigs actually have pubic hair? I've no idea - they are generally fluffy like most mammals.

I dont actually mind that but a pig pube is full fucking haram mate.

I gave a pig a lime to eat once. The smell was amazing. I'd like to stop thinking about their pubes now though please, real or imaginary.

Pig wankers?

No, racists, and people who think that asking such a question makes you a disgusting filthy perve.

Anyway, I did find this:
Short Sharp Science: Why humans alone have pubic hair

I'm still pretty liberal about food hygiene. My partner is the opposite and is always telling me off about leaving food out and eating stuff past the use by date.

I mean, I've had food poisoning a few times. Salmonella at least once, so maybe he's got a point. However. I'm still here. So....

Oh definitely not googling that then btw isn't it just perv?

Found this article which reports a theory that pubic hair is uniquely human, but below the line comments don't necessarily agree.
